Seoul Metropolitan Government Councilor Kwon Soo-jeong cast a vote for the 4.7 Seoul Mayor by-election for the first time in the Justice Party. When asked about the possibility of unification with the Democratic Party, which returns every election, he drew a line saying, “I can’t.” Rep. Kwon is from a woman in her 40s.
Rep. Kwon held a press conference at the Yeouido National Assembly in Seoul on the morning of the 11th, saying, “In the era of triple crisis of inequality crisis, climate crisis, and corona crisis, we must change everything.” “I will run for the Seoul Mayor’s by-election and take a new path to complete Seoul revision”Said. Rep. Kwon also stressed, “We will become the first gender equality mayor in Seoul.” In addition, in this by-election, arising from the suspicion of sexual harassment by the late Mayor Park Won-soon, who was a member of the Democratic Party, it is a differentiation from the Democratic Party.
Immediately after the interview, when asked about the possibility of unifying candidates, “How does the Justice Party, which is the judge’s role, associate with them in a situation where the candlelight citizens ask for the Democratic Party to be judged?”And “We can never (unify candidates)”He emphasized.
Rep. Kwon served as a flight attendant at Asiana Airlines for 20 years and served as the chairman of the Asiana Trade Union from 2010 to 2013. At the time of the union chairman, she led the’Women’s Wearing Trousers Movement’ and led the working environment so that a female flight attendant who had to wear only a skirt could choose a pants uniform. Rep. Kwon, who joined the Justice Party in 2015, was elected as the 1st candidate for the proportional representative of the Justice Party in the 2018 local election.
Rep. Kwon said, “We will dismantle Seoul by optimizing Seoul’s population and implementing a Seoul-led balanced development strategy.” As part of this, a policy to subsidize housing expenses and living expenses for one year was also issued to citizens who move their residences to rural areas. Regarding the real estate issue, he promised to expand the’local relocation program’ and secure 100,000 public housing units with a monthly rent of around 250,000 won per year. Along with this, he added, “We will correct the inequality problem with a strong tax policy that applies an elastic tax rate to raise property taxes by 50%.”
It also came up with a radical’Green Seoul’ concept. It said, “By 2030, we will ban the operation of fossil fueled cars in Seoul, and significantly increase the parking lot fee and the penalty for old diesel vehicles in Seoul.” Rep. Kwon met with a reporter right after the interview and said, “It will be an uncomfortable Seoul.”
The Justice Party is scheduled to be registered as a candidate for the contest by the 22nd, and then vote from the 1st of next month to elect the candidate on the 5th. Some members of the Justice Party also raised the theory of selection of representative Kim Jong-cheol, who had the experience of challenging the Seoul Mayor’s election in 2016, but it is said that the possibility is small.
